20220262367 | Voice Query QoS based on Client-Computed Content Metadata - A method includes receiving an automated speech recognition (ASR) request from a user device that includes a speech input captured by the user device and content metadata associated with the speech input. The content metadata is generated by the user device. The method also includes determining a priority score for the ASR request based on the content metadata associated with the speech input and caching the ASR request in a pre-processing backlog of pending ASR requests each having a corresponding priority score. The pending ASR requests in the pre-processing backlog are ranked in order of the priority scores. The method also includes providing, from the pre-processing backlog, one or more of the pending ASR requests to a backend-side ASR module, wherein pending ASR requests associated with higher priority scores are processed before pending ASR requests associated with lower priority scores. | 2022-08-18 |
20220262368 | CAPTCHA AUTOMATED ASSISTANT - Implementing and applying an adaptive and self-training CAPTCHA (“Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”) assistant that distinguishes between a computer-generated communication (e.g., speech and/or typed) and communication that originates from a human. The CAPTCHA assistant utilizes a generative adversarial network that is self-training and includes a generator to generate synthetic answers and a discriminator to distinguish between human answers and synthetic answers. The trained discriminator is applied to potentially malicious remote entities, which are provided challenge phrases. Answers from the remote entities are provided to the discriminator to predict whether the answer originated from a human or was computer-generated. | 2022-08-18 |
20220262369 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus includes a display controller that displays a plurality of different display character strings on a display part displaying a video, a voice processor that recognizes voice inputted to a predetermined microphone, a selector that selects a display character string that is relatively close to an input character string indicated by the voice recognized by the voice processor from the plurality of display character strings, and a processing executer that executes processing that corresponds to the display character string selected by the selector and affects the video. | 2022-08-18 |
